Music by the Mountain will be offering an annual $2,000 college scholarship beginning Feb. 1 to Siskiyou County students looking to major in music in college. Eligible students are Siskiyou County high school graduates going to a two or four year college and College of the Siskiyous music major students, including those who transfer to a four year college. MBTM will be accepting applications beginning this spring. Named the Carol Medrano Scholarship, it was created in honor of Carol Medrano who passed away last May.

Medrano was a passionate supporter of classical music and musicians in the area. She was adept at organizing school outreach programs all over Siskiyou County as a former board member of both Music by the Mountain and Red Scarf Society for The Performing Arts. Her unending donations of time and financial support toward music education and the arts are deeply appreciated by all who knew her.

Music by the Mountain has been accepting donations to the scholarship fund since last fall and has collected enough money to offer a $2,000 annual scholarship. The money is to be divided into two payments – $1,000 in the fall and $1,000 in the spring. Applications will be available to Siskiyou County high school students who are graduating in the spring, and are going to be music majors. It is also available to music majors at College of the Siskiyous. Applications are available now in Siskiyou County high schools and are available to download online at www.musicbythemountain.org. The deadline to submit an application is March 31. See below for contact information, or log on to the Music by the Mountain website. The chosen applicant will be notified in May 2017.

Music by the Mountain is a local nonprofit organization committed to bringing extraordinary classical musicians to the Mount Shasta community and providing educational outreach for children and students of all ages.
